Harry Potter and his best recipes magical dishes
On cool autumn days, when it often rains and the gray sky is dreary, sometimes you really want to have a magic wand at hand, at the wave of which everything could suddenly change ... But, by the way, why not become a little magicians yourself and arrange a holiday?
I don't know about you, but when I think of magic, Harry Potter and Hogwarts immediately come to mind. Harry and his classmates regularly eat traditional English breakfasts ( Orange juice, oatmeal, scrambled eggs and bacon, sausages, tea, toast and marmalade), and also come for five o'clock tea with Hagrid.
But if we really wanted a holiday, then how not to remember Mrs. Weasley with her fantastic delicious food and, of course, Madame Rosemerta's Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade, the most popular meeting place for Hogwarts students and teachers, famous for its butterbeer and mead.
Despite the host of classic English dishes, it must be admitted that fish, vegetables and fruits are absent from the diet of Harry and his friends. However, the magic of everything else more than compensates for these shortcomings.

"... Albus Dumbledore got up. He looked at the students and beamed, opening his arms wide to meet them, as if he had no greater pleasure in his life than to see them all gathered together in this hall.
Welcome! he exclaimed. "Welcome to the start of the new school year at Hogwarts!" Before starting the banquet, I would like to say a few words. And my words will be: Tyutya! Roar! Rwaklya! Tsap! Thank you! Dumbledore sat down. Everyone cheered and clapped. But Harry didn't know whether to laugh or not.
Is he a bit of that? he asked Percy uncertainly.
Togo? Percy asked absently. - He is a genius! He is the best wizard in the world! But he is, quite right, a bit of that. Can I give you potatoes?
Harry gasped in surprise - it turned out that the tables had been bursting with food for a long time. He had never seen so many delicious meals together: roast beef, fried chicken, pork and veal chops, sausages, bacon, steak, fried potatoes, boiled potatoes, french fries, Yorkshire pudding, peas, carrots, gravy, ketchup and, for some strange reason, mints.
In general, the Dursleys did not starve Harry, but still he never ate as much as he would like. Besides, Dudley always took away anything Harry showed an interest in, even if Dudley himself was sick of it. Harry filled his plate to the brim with a little bit of everything (except the candy) and began to eat.
The food was amazingly delicious. When everyone had eaten, the remnants of food evaporated from the plates, and the dishes shone clean again.
A moment later, dessert appeared - a huge amount of ice cream of every kind you can imagine, apple pies, cakes with molasses, chocolate eclairs, donuts with jam, truffles, strawberries, jelly, rice pudding... While Harry stuffed his mouth with molasses cake, the conversation turned to relatives.
Yorkshire pudding
This pudding is a traditional English food that Harry likes just as much as cake.
You will need: Eggs - 3 pcs., Milk - 300 ml, Flour - 125 g, Salt - an incomplete teaspoon, Black pepper - to taste, Vegetable oil - depends on the molds in which you will bake
Cooking: The first thing you need to do is to get all the ingredients for the pudding out of the refrigerator in advance, about an hour or two in advance. By the time you start preparing the text, it is very important that their temperature is the same. Another important point that must be done is to preheat the oven to 230 degrees in 20 minutes.
Having fulfilled these two conditions, you can safely get to work. The dough for Yorkshire pudding is kneaded as follows. Combine flour with milk, make sure that there is not a single lump in this mixture. Then, using a mixer, beat the eggs, then add them to the mixture of milk and flour. Mix everything well (a mixer will help you), salt, pepper, and ... that's it.
The pudding dough is ready. Now, in each mold in which you will bake the Yorkshire pudding, pour 1 tbsp. vegetable oil. If your forms are larger than traditional ones, then the amount of oil should be increased. So, after you have poured oil into the molds, put them in the oven for 10 minutes. It is very important that the oil is very hot. When the oil reaches the desired temperature, pour the dough into each mold. Fill the forms three-quarters of the way, because the puddings will rise a lot during the baking process. After filling out the forms, send the puddings to the oven for about half an hour.
Ready Yorkshire pudding should have a very beautiful golden color. The pudding should be served hot, straight out of the oven. It is at this moment that it has a wonderful crispy crust and tender crumb.
Cake with molasses
Indeed, with this cake you can “stuff your mouth”, it is so tasty and tender. Harry Potter does just that...
You will need: 225 g flour with baking powder, 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. spice mixes. 100 g softened butter, 75 g powdered sugar, 5 tbsp. l. black molasses, 150 ml sour cream, 100 g raisins, sifted powdered sugar for decoration
Cooking: Preheat the oven to 160°C. Use an 18 cm square mold. Grease the mold with butter and lay out parchment paper. Mix in a homogeneous mass flour, spices, oil, powdered sugar, black molasses, sour cream and raisins. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
Bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes, until a warm knife removed from the middle of the cake comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack; to keep the cake cool. Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar.
“…Halloween came unnoticed. Waking up in the morning, the children felt the smell of baked pumpkin spreading along the corridors. Thousands of living bats flapped their wings under the ceiling and on the walls, forming garlands, while thousands more hung in low clouds over the tables, from which the candle flames in the gourds fluttered and filled the Hall with a wavering mysterious light.
Fabulous dishes appeared unexpectedly on golden plates, just as it was at a banquet in honor of the beginning of the school year. Harry was just filling his mouth with baked potatoes when Professor Squirrel burst into the hall, his face twisted in horror, his turban on one side. Everyone in the audience watched as he ran up to Professor Dumbledore's chair, collapsed exhaustedly against the table, and managed to squeeze out:
Troll - in the dungeon - thought you should know.
Baked potato with pumpkin
What's Halloween without baked pumpkin? A baked potato Harry always loves - both on weekdays and on holidays, just like a pumpkin.
You will need: Potato - 500 g, Pumpkin - 500 g, Ham - 125 g, Milk - 375 ml, Onion - 1 head, Vegetable oil - 1 tbsp. l., Egg - 3 pieces, Breadcrumbs - 150 g, Cheddar cheese - 200 g, Salt - to taste, Ground black pepper - to taste
Cooking: Boil potatoes and pumpkin separately, without bringing them to fully prepared. Cut into cubes. In vegetable oil, lightly fry finely chopped onion and ham over medium heat. Mix ham and onion with pumpkin and potatoes and place in a baking dish. Mix grated cheddar (100 g) with milk, eggs and breadcrumbs. Pour the cheese mixture over potatoes and pumpkin. Top with grated cheddar (100 g). Bake in the oven at 180 degrees until golden brown (about 35-40 minutes).
"... I'm very glad you've come, Harry dear," said Mrs. Weasley. - Come in, eat something from the road. She turned and walked into the house, and Harry gave Ron a startled look and, receiving a reassuring nod from him, followed her.
The kitchen was small and rather shabby. In the middle stood a planed wooden table and chairs. Harry sat on the edge of one of them and looked around. He had never been in a witch's house before. On the wall opposite hung a clock with one hand and no numbers at all. Instead, there were inscriptions along the edge: "It's time to put tea", "It's time to feed the chickens", "I'm late again."
Three rows of books were crowded on the mantelpiece, with titles like "Magical zest for everyone", "Magic pastries", "Feast in one minute - miracles!" ....
Mrs. Wesley fussed around. She prepared breakfast with deft, if somewhat careless, movements, and after each sausage thrown into the pan, she threw angry glances at her sons. At regular intervals, a distinct grumbling could be heard from her side - “I don’t know where your head was” and “I wouldn’t believe it for anything.”
Fried eggs with sausages
The most homemade, the simplest and - the most traditional English dish for breakfast. Harry doesn't give up either.
Cooking: canned beans in a tomato, put in a pan and warm, adding a little butter. Two pieces of thinly sliced meat bacon and one or two big sausages fry until crispy in a pan or grill. Several fresh or canned champignons and tomatoes fried in butter or grilled. Fry two slices of toasted bread in the melted butter that remains after the bacon, fry fried eggs from two fresh eggs in the same lard or vegetable oil. All finished products arrange on a large plate, placing the scrambled eggs in the center, sausages and bacon next to it, vegetables and toast around the edges. Serve ketchup and juice.
Cakes from the magic cauldron from Hogwarts Express
In the Harry Potter books, these are the buns you could buy on the Hogwarts Express from the sweets vendor.
You will need: 2 tbsp flour, 1.5 tbsp sugar, 3 1/2 tsp baking powder (baking powder), 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tbsp soft butter, 1 tbsp milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 3 eggs, 3/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/8 tsp ginger
Cooking: Preheat oven to 200 C. Mix eggs, sugar, butter, cinnamon and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and milk. Pour the batter into the cupcake liners, but don't overfill them, as the cupcakes should be semi-flat! Bake 25 minutes.
“... Other gifts brought much more joy. Hagrid sent over a bulky jar of molasses toffee, which Harry warmed over the fire before putting into his mouth; Ron gave Harry a book called Flying with Guns, a collection of interesting stories about his favorite Quidditch team, and Hermione bought Harry a luxurious eagle feather. In the last package, from Mrs. Wesley, Harry found another hand-knitted sweater and a large plum pie. Harry read her affectionate postcard with a fresh surge of guilt, and thought about Mr. Weasley's car (which hadn't been seen since the Whomping Willow) and the latest round of rule-breaking he and Ron had been up to. None Living being, even the one that thought with horror about the upcoming reception of the All-Essence, could not help but enjoy the Christmas feast at Hogwarts. The Great Hall appeared in all its brilliant splendor. Here, as always, stood a dozen hoar-frost fir trees, hung over them in a cheerful crosshair of fluffy garlands of mistletoe and holly, and enchanted snowflakes fell from the ceiling, warm and dry. Dumbledore conducted, and everyone sang their favorite Christmas songs in unison. The chorus thumped louder and louder with each next cup of eggnog - a drink like eggnog with rum.
Eggnog - a magical drink
Eggnog or eggnog is known to be the favorite Christmas drink of the English. And at Hogwarts they drink it with rum - even young wizards. And Harry Potter, of course.
Cooking: Beat 1 egg yolk, add 1 tbsp. a spoonful of sugar, a little salt, 2 tbsp. spoons of rum and 2/3 cups of milk. Mix all this, strain and combine with beaten egg white. Stir again before serving.
My whole family is in love with the world of Harry Potter. I wear a Slytherin scarf with pride, and my boyfriend is a true Gryffindor fan.Sometimes it hurts so much that among the gray everyday life there is a small place for magic. Unfortunately, people around are unlikely to understand if I start running around the city in a robe and shouting spells. In the very first doorway, brothers in white coats swaddle me.
If you wish, it is quite possible to find a way to bring a piece of magic into everyday life. The easiest way to repeat food recipes from Harry Potter. Basically, JK Rowling in books referred to traditional dishes English cuisine. Let's throw a feast like a festive feast at Hogwarts.
IngredientsFirst of all, we will prepare the toffee filler. It will come out in abundance. In a water bath or in a saucepan with a thick bottom, you need to melt the butter. After that, in a thin stream, enter granulated sugar and stir vigorously until the crystals are completely dissolved.
Bring to a boil, cook for 4-5 minutes over low heat until the mixture begins to change in color. Remove from heat, add cream and vanilla, beating thoroughly with a mixer. Cool down. Store filler in closed jar no more than 2 weeks.
Now it's time to tackle the low-alcohol drink itself. For one serving you will need 350 ml of beer and 3-4 tbsp. toffee filler. To do hot drink- put the mixture of ingredients on low heat and bring to a boil. Use a blender to make cold beer. By the way, Hermione prefers to add some grated ginger to her glass.
IngredientsDefrost the peas. Thoroughly mix vegetables, minced meat and tomato sauce and place in a buttered mold. Cover with a thick layer of mashed potatoes, sprinkle with grated coarse grater cheese and garnish with paprika. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes (until the cheese turns brown). Before serving, let the cake “rest” for a quarter of an hour.
For test:
0.5 kg flour;
250 g butter;
100 ml of heavy cream;
2-3 chicken eggs;
salt.
Cooking method
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Line a flat baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix pumpkin pomace with softened butter to a puree consistency, add cheese and garlic, passed through a crush. Season with salt (preferably sea) and ground pepper to taste.
Knead the dough and place it in the refrigerator for half an hour. Roll out the layer and cut out circles with a diameter of 10-15 cm from it. Put the filling on the blanks and fasten the edges according to the cheburek principle. So that the contents do not leak out, it is better to play it safe and seal the envelopes twice with an overlap. Bake for 25-30 minutes, wait another quarter of an hour before serving.
Cooking method
Peel pumpkin and apple, remove seeds and core. Pass through the juicer along with the lemon. Cut the ginger root finely enough. Throw it into a saucepan with juice, let stand for 1-2 hours. During this time, the beneficial substances from ginger will pass into the drink. Strain through cheesecloth before serving. You can add mint and cinnamon if you like. The output of the drink is 2-3 servings.
For filling:
25 g butter;
zest and juice of half a lemon;
340 g of molasses;
1 tsp rosemary;
1 ¼ st. white breadcrumbs;
70 g almond flour;
1 chicken egg.
Cooking method
Harry Potter's favorite dessert is incredibly easy to make. You need to preheat the oven to 180 degrees and liberally grease a shallow pie tin.
softened butter Grind thoroughly with flour using a blender, gradually introducing cold water. Spread the dough evenly over the walls of the mold and send it to bake for 20-30 minutes. Wait until the base turns golden brown.
Without wasting a second, start preparing the filling. Place the butter in a deep saucepan and place over moderate heat. Bring to a boil, add the rest of the ingredients, except for the egg. Stir vigorously to a uniform mass. Remove from the stove and let cool slightly (40-50 degrees is quite an acceptable temperature), only then introduce the egg. Otherwise, the protein will curl up.
Spread the sweet mixture evenly over the base. Bake for another 20-30 minutes. Test the readiness of our molasses pie by piercing it with a toothpick. You can remove the dish from the mold after cooling to room temperature. Cut into pieces and serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
For filling:
1.5 kg of beef or lamb;
salt;
freshly ground allspice;
4 tbsp butter;
4 finely chopped garlic cloves;
2 large red onions;
2 medium carrots;
2 celery stalks;
10 large champignons;
2 tbsp. l. wheat flour;
1 tsp rosemary;
600 ml of strong beer;
250 g grated hard cheese;
3-4 st. l. apple cider vinegar.
Cooking method
Knead the dough according to the standard scheme, using room temperature ingredients. When pouring water, be careful - different brands of flour absorb different amounts of moisture. Vary volume according to appearance test. It should be tight and elastic. Place the blank in the refrigerator for about half an hour.
Preheat the oven to 180-190 degrees in advance. Melt the butter in a frying pan with a removable handle set over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic. Brown for 10-15 minutes. Add coarsely grated carrots, sliced celery and mushrooms. Sprinkle with flour, salt. Cook, stirring, for another 15 minutes.
Salt and pepper the meat. Put pieces of beef or lamb to vegetables, lightly fry, add rosemary, pour in beer. The drink should cover the future filling by about 1-1.5 cm. Remove from heat and place in the oven for 1.5 hours. Remove the stew, stir and bring to a full readiness (another 30-40 minutes). The moisture will almost completely evaporate, and the filling will be well stewed.
Divide the filling among gratin tins, sprinkle generously with grated cheese and season with vinegar. Take the dough out of the refrigerator. Roll out a thin layer from it and cut circles according to the size of the molds. Cover the filling with dough and tuck the edges in like a blanket. Brush the surface with egg. Bake for 20-30 minutes at 180 degrees. You will end up with 8-10 shepherd's pies. They must be served hot.
For gravy:
1 st. brown sugar;
2 tbsp. l. cocoa powder;
1 ¼ st. boiling water.
Cooking method
I do not argue, you can do many things from "Harry Potter" with your own hands. For example, fans knit scarves on their own, embroider emblems on clothes, and cut out magic wands. However, if you want to impress your friends in the heart, then invite them to try delicious bowls.
Prepare the oven in advance by preheating it to 180 degrees. In a bowl of sufficient volume, combine flour, cocoa powder and granulated sugar. Drizzle the mixture with vanilla extract. Add butter, milk and well beaten egg. Bring to a homogeneous consistency. Divide among ceramic cups, filling them approximately 1/2 full.
To prepare the gravy in a separate bowl, first mix the dry ingredients and dissolve them with boiling water last. Pour the mixture into the molds, covering the dough by 1 cm. Place the edible cauldrons in the oven for 45 minutes. Eat without removing from the molds.
In a large bowl, combine candied ginger, dried fruit, orange and lemon peel. Pour in rum and leave to soak overnight. In the morning, transfer the mixture to a saucepan. Add sugar, softened butter, apple juice, milk and spices. Bring to a boil over moderate heat. Reduce the speed a little and cook for 5-10 minutes. Then let cool.
Sift dry ingredients into dried fruit mixture. Separately, beat the eggs and, stirring constantly, add to the dough. At the very end, add roasted nuts. Bake in an oven preheated to 170-180 degrees for 1-1.5 hours. Check for doneness in the same way as described in the molasses pie. Remove from mold after complete cooling.
Bon appetit!

The easiest and most affordable way to do this is to conjure whole cauldrons of magical goodies at home. And who better than Harry Potter understands magic?

Who among us did not envy Harry Potter, Ron and Hermione when they ate magical sweets on the Hogwarts Express? Probably, everyone wanted to know what the very “butter beer” that was served in the “Three Broomsticks” tasted like? Of course, we won’t tell you the recipe for Bertie Botts sweets with the taste of earwax, but you can easily cook some of the dishes that appeared in the books without the use of magic, because these are recipes for classic English cuisine.
Yorkshire pudding
Remember Harry Potter's first dinner at Hogwarts? On the table were "roast beef, fried chicken, pork and veal chops, sausages, bacon, steak, fried potatoes, boiled potatoes, French fries, Yorkshire pudding, peas, carrots, gravy, ketchup and, for some strange reason, mints." Let's take a closer look at Yorkshire pudding - a traditional English dish that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The recipe conquers with its simplicity: in a bowl, thoroughly mix three eggs, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 285 ml of milk and 115 grams of flour. The resulting mass should rest for about half an hour. While this is happening, preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Put the molds in it for a couple of minutes so that they warm up. After that, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to each hole and send the molds to the oven for another five minutes. Then fill the holes with batter and bake the puddings for 15 minutes until golden brown. The recipe is for 12 servings.
Mrs Weasley Lemon Pie
Mrs. Weasley always fed the inhabitants and guests of the Burrow to the fullest. One of her business cards - lemon pie. To prepare it, mix a can of condensed milk, three egg yolks and half a glass of lemon juice in a bowl. Pour the resulting mixture into a baking dish, in which you first put a pack of wholemeal crackers. Whisk in another container ( better mixer) to a thick state of egg whites, mixed with six teaspoons of sugar. Checking their readiness is simple: turn the bowl over and make sure that the mass sticks to the bottom. Spread the squirrels on the cake and place it in an oven preheated to 260 degrees. As soon as the cake becomes golden, you can take it out. Mrs. Weasley's dessert needs to be chilled.
butter beer
The characters of "Harry Potter" happily drank butterbeer, getting out for a walk in Hogsmeade. To enjoy the Three Broomsticks pub's most popular drink, pour half a liter of cherry-flavored lemonade (or ale for the alcoholic version) into a pot, add a dash of ginger, nutmeg and ground cloves. Heat the resulting mixture over low heat. Whisk two egg yolks and 60 grams of sugar in a bowl, then slowly add the mixture to the pan. Stirring constantly, bring the drink to a boil. Remove from heat, put one tablespoon of butter in it and pour into glasses.
Pumpkin biscuits are one of the most popular treats in the wizarding world. You can buy it in the "Sweet Kingdom" or make it yourself. Peeled pumpkin and seeds (about 250 grams) cut into cubes and boil in salted water for 15 minutes. Beat with a mixer 150 grams of softened butter, 200 grams of sugar and one egg. Drain the water from the pumpkin pot and puree the vegetable with a blender until smooth. Combine the puree with the butter mixture, add 20 grams of vanilla sugar there. Mix two cups of flour (about 350 grams) with 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and sift. In the flour, add one teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon each of nutmeg and ginger, 1/3 teaspoon of ground cloves. Combine all this with pumpkin-oil mixture and mix. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and grease it with vegetable oil. Put the dough on a baking sheet with a spoon and send it to the oven preheated to 200 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
shepherd's pie
Shepherd's Pie appears several times in the Harry Potter books. True, in the Russian translation it is called either “kidney pie”, or “ potato casserole with meat". Shepherd's pie was once eaten only by the poor, and today it is one of the classic dishes British cuisine. To prepare it, cut the peeled onion (in cubes), two carrots (in strips), 700 grams of potatoes (in cubes) and one clove of garlic. Boil potatoes in salted water and mash into a puree. Add 1.5 tablespoons of butter, one teaspoon of ground coriander and salt. Add the egg to the cooled mixture, mix. Cover the pot with a towel and set aside. Saute onion, carrot and garlic in butter in a skillet. Add 500 grams of minced lamb and fry for about seven minutes, breaking up the lumps. Drain excess oil from the pan and add flour (0.5 tablespoon) previously fried until golden brown in a dry pan. Pour 300 ml into the pan meat broth, bring the dish to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for another 10 minutes, adding a handful green peas. Place the minced meat in a baking dish, put a layer of mashed potatoes on top with a pastry bag, cover everything with grated parmesan (about 100 grams) and bake in an oven preheated to 190 degrees for 50–60 minutes.
Hagrid's stone cupcakes
Hagrid, though not very good at cooking, did everything from the heart. His "Rock Cakes", by the way, are a classic British dessert, named so not because of the rigidity, but because of their appearance, because they resemble fragments of rocks. To understand what the giant forester treated the children in his hut, melt 100 grams of butter in a frying pan, add two glasses oatmeal and fry them until golden brown. Transfer the resulting mass to a bowl, adding four tablespoons of flour, five tablespoons of sugar, a glass of chopped dried fruits (any) and a glass of chopped nuts (any). Pour three beaten eggs into the oatmeal and leave the mixture for 15 minutes. Put the dough on a baking sheet lined with baking paper with a spoon or with wet hands and place the cookies in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 15 minutes.
pumpkin juice
Pumpkin juice is one of the favorite drinks of wizards. His advertisement even took up a full page in the program for the Quidditch World Cup. Take two cups of pumpkin pulp and squeeze the juice out of it (using a juicer or cheesecloth). Mix the resulting liquid in a blender with two glasses of apple juice, half a glass of pineapple juice and a teaspoon of honey. Add cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg if desired. Drink juice chilled.

“On her tray were packets of round jelly beans, exploding gum, chocolate frogs, cauldrons, licorice sticks, and other sweets from the wizarding world.
"I'll take everything," he said. Harry».
Something like this began the acquaintance of eleven-year-old Harry James Potter with the new realities of the new world. The way to a reader's heart, like a man's heart, is through the stomach. And here the author of the seven-volume saga of the young wizard immediately took the right tone. It was not for nothing that the ancients believed that even the dead do not completely die until they taste the afterlife food. The same goes for the magical world. To become completely your own there, you must certainly taste the offered treat. Yes, others pinch off a piece and take a sip, just to "respect the owner." Little Harry, as you can see, is not one of those. He takes everything at once. And then share with friends.
Until you taste magical food, it is impossible to get into the school of wizards - this is an axiom. Six of the seven novels are required to pass the stage of the train. And on the train there is always a cart with food. In extreme cases - a stranger who later turned out to be a teacher. And, characteristically, a teacher of defense against the dark arts: “Take it. This is chocolate. Eat, it will become easier, ”says the future professor Lupine our hero, exhausted by his encounter with the Dementors, soul-stealing creatures.
Even when Harry and his friend are smuggled into their school in a stolen car, brought to the level of an airplane, food remains an indispensable attribute: “Sandwiches again ... Mom always forgets that I don’t like smoked beef,” he said sadly Ron". And then he eats his grief with another chocolate frog.
The impression is insidious. It seems that Harry and his friends, overeating on chocolate along the way, are eager for a world where there is a Sweet Kingdom store. Right next to the school. In the village of Hogsmeade. True, you can get there only with permission signed by the parents. Yes, there are constant sweets, toffee, sugary soda and candied nuts. Yes, chocolate, cakes, marzipans, strawberry cream, some special waffles and even the “Russian caramel” mentioned once, in which different translators see either ordinary candy or creamy toffee.
It seems that it is sweets that open the way to the magical world. It seems that young magicians purposely stuff themselves with food that is harmful to their teeth and stomach ... and freeze in anticipation of the punishing hand of urticaria and diathesis.

Behind all this children's surroundings, you can easily overlook real English cuisine. And no matter what they say, it still exists.
Or not? Here is the most heartfelt description of the festive feast: “Harry has never seen so many of his favorite dishes on one table. Roast beef, roast chicken, pork and lamb chops, beef and kidney pie, sausages, bacon, steaks, boiled potatoes, fried potatoes, chips, Yorkshire pudding, peas, carrots, meat sauces, ketchup..."
It is not clear who is fed - a person or cattle. Only those who are very hungry will be able to name potatoes, peas and carrots among their favorite foods. Normal people will say that these are not dishes, but products. What is boiled and fed to pigs. The rest of the culinary abundance is also unlikely to be able to declare itself: “I am a typical English dish, the pride of Great Britain!”
Indeed. Chickens are fried everywhere. Lamb and pork chops are present in any cuisine of the world, except for those where pork is not recommended or prohibited. Sausages and chips have become a symbol of fast and bad food. Steaks? In South America it is the food of the poor. In the North - too, with the exception of some special "three-deck steaks with corn, tomato sauce, strawberry jam, a slice of watermelon and avocado shavings." Well, where is the same "good old England"?
Perhaps the Yorkshire pudding will speak up in its defense. Or a beef and kidney pie. It sounds beautiful, patriotic, promises something harsh, but exotic. But those who want to enjoy Yorkshire pudding take a big risk. Its composition is harsh, like local nature. Flour, salt, egg, lard. You can mix in a glass and try to swallow. You can knead and bake in the oven as required by the recipe. The taste is unlikely to change.
With a pie, things are a bit more complicated. English " meat pie” is not in vain taken in quotation marks. It's not so much a dish as a way of recycling meat products. Small pieces of beef, washed kidneys flavored with salt and pepper, as well as all sorts of trimmings and lumps were put together. Covered with a layer of dough. And they baked.

All in all, a heartbreaking sight. Although there is hope. The best thing that has been said about English cuisine belongs to the writer Somerset Maugham. Is British food bad? Nonsense! You just have to eat breakfast three times a day!”
Harry Potter agrees with the classic. Or rather, his friend Ron Weasley. Alder-smoked sausages, peas, beans in tomato sauce, smoked sardines, scrambled eggs, sausages, fried champignons, back smoked trout, bacon, fried eggs, toast, butter, with a choice of honey, jam or marmalade ... That's not all - in stock fried tomatoes with cheese or, conversely, fried cheese with tomatoes. pumpkin and pumpkin porridge. And even chicken legs in chocolate sauce.
Donuts, tomato and pumpkin juice, baked celery, onion puree soup, rice porrige... This is a normal English breakfast. Who can and even should open their day to any agent 007. Or a novice wizard.
"I've never eaten so well," said Harry.
"Hmmm... hmmm..." said Ron and wiped his mouth on his sleeve. - I can't eat another bite.
